Chapter 17 :) Hope y'all like it!
The dinner was quiet. After finishing our food, Alec took me home and I said a small "thanks" before sliding off the seat and walking to my apartment's lobby.
I was about to press the elevator button but the doorman stopped me.
"Oh, um, Clary?" Asked Norman, the doorman.
"Yeah Norman?" I asked.
"There's been noise complaints from your apartment. I think it's Jon." He said and I sighed.
"Okay, I'm sorry. I'll fix it." I said and gave him a tired smile.
"Have a goodnight." He said.
"You too." I said before stepping into the elevator and hopping on at my floor.
I walked to my door and could hear the loud bass of music. I sighed and went into my apartment.
There were half naked girls everywhere. The air smelled like weed and alcohol, girls were sitting on the couch snorting cocaine and some smoking crack. There was a bag of cocaine and two small baggies which contained crack.
The air was thick and muggy. I went to our bedroom and caught Jon getting sucked off by a topless redhead.
"What the fuck?!" I yelled and caused them both to jump apart.
"Babe, get out. I'll tell you when you can come back in." Said Jon and I scoffed.
"Excuse me?" I yelled.
The redhead walked out of the room and Jon sighed.
"I'm going to get water." Said Jon and went to the kitchen.
I can't take this shit anymore.
I went to the closet and started to pack all my things, which weren't many because Jon always wanted more closet space, and then packed all of my bathroom things. It all fit in my suitcase and I sighed.
I started to walk out the door until Jon stopped me.
"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" He said, shoving me backwards, making me fall to the floor.
"I'm leaving." I said and he growled, literally, like a dog.
"Jon, you've just received head from another girl! And our apartment is crawling with half naked girls!" I yelled and he kicked my stomach.
"You're staying here." He said and kicked me again.
"No!" I screamed and he slapped me.
"Stop yelling. I'm going to bed." He said and walked to the bedroom.
I slowly got up and walked out the door.
I was silent until I got to the lobby and left the apartment.
I called 911.
"Hello, 911, what's your emergency?" Answered a lady.
"Hello, I'd like to report a party which includes use of marijuana, crack and cocaine. I believe they have one bag of cocaine and two small bags of crack." I reported.
I gave the lady the address and called for a cab, gave it the first address that came to mind and headed off.
After arriving to the apartment, I knocked on the door.
"Clary? What're you doing here?" Asked Alec, hurrying me inside.
"I... I left Jon. He... He beat me Alec, and cheated on me." I cried.
"Who is it?" I heard a female voice say, incredibly irritating.
"Babe come back to bed, I'll go check." I heard Jace say.
"I thought they were staying at a hotel!" I whispered to Alec
"I thought so too but Aline wanted to see my apartment so they're apparently spending the night." Sighed Alec.
"What're you doing here?" Asked Jace.
"Leaving." I mumbled and opened the door.
"Where are you gonna go Clary?!" Said Alec, stopping me and closing the door again.
"Um, to her apartment maybe?" Said Jace.
"Well I fucking can't." I spat at him.
"Jace go make us some gin and tonics." Said Alec.
"But-" Started Jace.
"Now." Interrupted Alec and Jace sighed, walking to the kitchen and slamming the door closed.
"C'mon, let's get you cleaned up." Said Alec.
I changed into a dress pajama that I had, it reached a bit higher than my knees and it was white. It had spaghetti straps and it was really soft against my skin, it was made of silk.
I put a bathrobe over it and took off my makeup.
I walked over to the kitchen and sat down on the counter, where Alec was sitting and Jace stood against the cool white wall.
"So what happened to you?" Asked Jace.
"I'd rather Alec explain it." I said, sipping on my gin and tonic.
"Well, you see, after you left, Clary met Jonathan. He seemed really polite at first but then he cut her off from all her friends, university, art and from living her life. He was very rude Jace, you wouldn't believe it. Always calling Clary a whore when all she did was be faithful to such a horrid man. He then started to cheat on her and hit her, which brought back memories of Clary's dad. And now she finally broke it off." Explained Alec while I had finished my gin and tonic.
Jace sighed.
"I'm sorry Clary." He said.
"I'm gonna go to bed. I think you guys should talk." said Alec and left, locking the door.
"Great, he locked us in." I mumbled.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.
"Because you came back with a beautiful girl wrapped in your arms Jace. Because you got to renew your life while I relived mine." I said.
"She's not as beautiful-" He started.
"She's very beautiful Jace, she is." I said.
"As I was saying before you interrupted me, she's not as beautiful as you, Clary." he whispered and I looked up at him.
I looked at his golden blue eyes that didn't shine like they used to.
"What happened to you Jace?" I asked, "Where did all your burning passion go? Where has the sparkle in your eyes gone to?"
"It died." He said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because it stayed with you." He confessed, making my heart skip a beat.
I realized how close our bodies were. He was between my legs as I sat on the counter and while he was talking, he undid my bathrobe.
"I missed you so much." He said as he rested his forehead on mine.
"Jace, please stop." I whimpered.
"Why?" He whispered, I could feel with minty breath on my face.
"Because you hurt me. You hurt me so much. And now you're with her, she doesn't deserve to be hurt like I was." I said and he sighed while backing away.
"You were always so mature." He breathed, a small smile tugging on his lips.
I smiled at him. I missed him. I missed him so, so much.
"I got offered a job at a university as a advanced math teacher." He told me and my eyes widened.
"Jace! That's great!" I said while smiling, it was such a good opportunity for him.
"Why don't you go back to university Clary? We both know you want to, and you had such a great talent in art." He mentioned and I sighed.
"I want to, Jace. I really do but where? I'm 22 years old now, with probably no future. I don't know any good universities and I don't know if-" I started rambling on but was interrupted by Jace's abrupt interruption.
"Be my student." He said, taking me by surprise.
"You want me to be your student? Again, I might add." I said and he nodded.
"I can help you get in, we can go have a meeting tomorrow with the head of the university and they'll probably let you in. You can take art and advanced math. Oh and english literature, you loved literature." He said, a spark in his eyes.
"I do love literature..." I mumbled.
"Great! Tomorrow, at 8, we'll go have a meeting! Have a good sleep, be up and early tomorrow." He said happily before quickly hugging me and going back to bed.
All I wanted to do was to start over but I guess I'll just relive my past, all over again.
Oh lord, I'm so sorry you guys! I wanted to update but I kept forgetting and I didn't get any inspiration. It's just... agh. I need new inspiration.
But yeah, this is the new chapter of Teach Me. Poor Clary is reliving her life again, it's cruel, I know but I have an idea in mind.
I hope you liked it!
